Why WZ for Law Enforcement?
Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates is the only training organization teaching both the WZ Non-Confrontational Interview and Interrogation Technique and the Reid Method* of Interview and Interrogation. At WZ we understand that the same techniques may not work to obtain the truth from every criminal.
Our expert instructors are all Certified Forensic Interviewers who leverage their experience to provide officers with multiple tools to place them in the best position to obtain the truth from subjects in the field.
With our non-confrontational methodologies for interviewing and interrogation, as well as the licensed Reid Method, our courses ensure you know why a non-confrontational approach is more effective, how to develop strategies, and how to think on your feet in tough situations.
* WZ is licensed by John E. Reid and Associates, Inc., originator and developer of the Reid Method. WZ was licensed by Reid in 1984.
